Live migration, without the need for shared storage using XenServer 6.1 and XCP 1.6

Live migration using shared storage in XenAPI pools

Additioal testing of various OpenStack + XenServer configurations

Improvements to Documentation and DevStack

The guys I sit next to in the XenServer team have done a stellar job with XenServer 6.1. Better single host VM scalability, a new VM conversion tool and Storage XenMotion are just a few of the highlights. Stay tuned to the Citrix blog site and twitter to find out more!

Want to find out more about OpenStack and XenServer? Even more good news! I will be presenting a talk covering XenServer 6.1 and how best to get started with OpenStack. I will be joined by Chris Behrens from Rackspace describing how they deploy OpenStack inside Rackspace. Please come along, it is Tuesday October 16, 4:30pm – 5:10pm in Manchester A. If you can’t make it, presumably because you are going to Synergy, I will make the slides available on SlideShare.

If you are a developer, an interested in XenServer, XCP, and XenAPI, please take a look at what we have planned for the XenAPI session and see a list of all the other XenAPI related sessions: http://etherpad.openstack.org/XenAPIGrizzly

As ever, I will report back after the summit to let you know about the latest XenServer and OpenStack news!
